I have the same problem and tried to download the full SimStarter installer from "My instant downloads". Unfortunately, I have to use the "old orders" page of Aerosoft. I tried several times, but that server is very slow to respond even to the request to view the order. When I click on download, connection with the server is lost every time. Can you check if the server is working properly? Thanks, Peter

Hi Rob, I would too, probably. However, I first want to see the difference between PBR and what we have already/ Peter

Unless you are still using Windows XP, you will have a 64 bit operating system, and I haven't seen a PC with 32-bit processors for 10 years at least. Hence, chances are you have a 64-bit system. Even with a very old 64-bit computer, P3D v4 is a huge step up compared to P3D v4. The main difference is that 32-bit software like P3D v3 can only use up to 4GB of memory. Hence, even if you have 16 GB of RAM, P3D v3 can't use it. P3D v4 can, and that eliminates a ton of problems with modern high-quality addons. Peter

Great post, Steve. However, I think the following link might serve Tom better to deal with future requests http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Aerosoft+repaints Peter

I suppose you are aware then that there is only a handful of operators of the Boeing 717. Providing all liveries is then quite a bit easier than when you model the A320. I personally am quite happy with the liveries I get from Aerosoft or fellow users of their buses. Peter

Maybe as an upgrade option? I personally probably wouldn't use it. I am happy with the external EFB that I already have. Peter

Well, there's this statement from Mathijs five days ago. Peter

Hello Tom, I know that, but Mathijs mentioned in his post that the pax number is stored at several places. Plus, there isn't really a standard when it comes to these numbers. Some developers strongly discourage changing the aircraft.cfg numbers. Others, like CaptainSim, change the numbers themselves for every flight. If I recall correctly, another developer stated in a forum discussion somewhere that these numbers are ignored in their model. The only confidence I have is that I can use aircraft.cfg to change load stations for default airplanes. That's why I think it would be nice if Aerosoft would make this somehow configurable. Ideally, the load stations in aircraft.cfg would be honoured, no matter what the entries are. However, I will buy the A330 even without such a configuration tool. It is just a suggestion, in case it would be easy to implement. Peter

If one uses an economic simulation, then the number of pax makes a difference. Like in your example: in Japan, they use large aircraft for short haul and try to squeeze in as many people as possible. On longer flights, more leg room is needed. And one may have a different mix of classes F,J,Y. You are completely right in that for the simulated flight only the total payload matters (well, perhaps the CG is affected as well if simulated cabin and cargo holds have a different center-of-mass each). However, I for one would consider it a bonus if I could reconfigure the number of passengers in a model to reflect economic decisions of a simulated airline.Ideally, have three numbers (for Y, J, F), or maybe even more now that premium economy is becoming popular among airlines. Peter

Thanks, Mathijs. And the A330? Peter

I understood his question as "how many seats will the Aerosoft model have?" I would be interested in that answer as well. Peter

Still no new information? Peter

I think this is pretty clear: And you probably mean "Mathijs" when you refer to "Mathias"? Peter
